Organization of JRCCE

• JRCCE has been registered to the Japan Fair Trade
  Commission (JFTC) when established.
• Since 1st of April 2007, JRCCE has been working
  as a section of AEHA (Association of Electronic
  Home Appliances).
• General Assembly of JRCCE is held approximately
  once a month, while Organizers meets biweekly.
• JRCCE is having ad-hoc meetings with the major
  retailers of Consumer Electronics in Japan, to
  exchange the updated information.

Direction of Activities

• To establish the guideline for adoption of RFID
  in use cases of the CE industry in accordance
  with the Lifecycle Management Model by our scope
• To propose the international standards of tags,
  labels, interfaces, and applications to the
  global standard organizations, such as EPCglobal
  and/or International Standard Organization (ISO)
• To ask related players, including parts vendors,
  distributors, retailers, and recycle companies,
  to adopt the Lifecycle Management Model JRCCE
  proposes

How to get the Benefit for CE Industry

• Utilization only in logistics, like FMCG
  industry, cannot bring benefits to CE industry.
• It is the total products lifecycle management
  including logistics by RFID that brings benefits
  to CE.
• It is necessary to standardize the use case and
  specifications of the tag and the network system
  in order to go ahead.
• As a result, JRCCE was launched for the promotion
  of this standardization activity.

The concept of the lifecycle management is
illustrated in next slides.

Lifecycle Management Model

Classification of Products (Management
Granularity)

• Lifecycles of all products does not need to be
  managed.
• The product which needs the lifecycle management
  is classified into the HIGHEST (pine-"matsu")
  rank.
• The MIDDLE-ranked (bamboo-"take") product can be
  managed not by item but by production lot.
• In the LOWEST (plum-"ume") rank, Bar-code or some
  other inexpensive methodology still might be more
  convenience than RFID due to the requirement of
  the running cost to the management system.
• The highest-ranked product should be
• traced for longer periods for the product safety
  and the recycle/reuse,
• repaired and/or maintained by manufacturers or
  service providers during the usage,
• tagged and monitored by item with personal
  information well protected,
• In order to satisfy above characteristics of
  highest-ranked products, the tag for that needs
• high durability,
• long reliability and sustainability ( gt 20
  years),
• high security, and
• large memory ( gt 2kbits)

Examples of the classification is illustrated in
next slides.

Tag Data Items (submitted to TD JRG in Dec. 2006)
This table is the result of the 1st
consideration by JRCCE. Items might increase
according to the further consideration of product
safety or some other use cases.
Repair/Maintenance Use Case is illustrated in
next slides.
"Authentication Info." is the data in order to
secure the authenticity of the tag. The detail of
it is under consideration.
